Green tint or uneven color
uniformity appears on the
screen when the TV is powered
on
❏ After turning on the TV, you may notice a green tint or slight variation in color
and brightness in certain areas of the picture. This will last only a few minutes
(possibly longer, in cooler rooms or conditions) while circuits within the TV
continually fine tune the color during the warm-up period. This is a normal
temperature characteristic of the components and not a malfunction.
The TV turns off automatically ❏ Check if the Sleep option is activated, or confirm the Duration setting of Timer
(page 46).
❏ If the temperature is too high, the TV may also turn off after a warning message is
displayed.

75 ohm coaxial cable instead.
Double images ❏ Using a highly directional outdoor antenna or a cable may solve the problem.
